Four bedrooms for your family in new listing

Reside on Rathbourne; pride of ownership
By Mark Schadenberg

Pride in ownership is sometimes an over-used term in real estate.
However, imagine when the same family has owned a house for 53 years and the owner is an electrician.
Another over-used term could be over-improved, but if a house has several updates it proves the owners have loved their home and have went above-and-beyond the call of duty in up-keep (maintenance), renovations and escalation of value.
805 Rathbourne Ave, Woodstock
MLS: 72013
The correct combination for your next home -- 4 bedrooms, spacious eat-in kitchen, main-floor family room, seperate living and dining rooms, and a fireplace in the lower recroom. Under the like-new carpet in the living and dining rooms, and the welcoming foyer, is hardwood flooring.
The kitchen includes a newer countertop and backsplash, plus 4 appliances – newer gas stove, microwave, dishwasher and fridge.  
Updates here are numerous, including high eff. furnace and central air just 3 years old, newer style windows, newer carpeting (hardwood under carpets in foyer, and living and dining rooms), and both the main-floor and lower-level 3pc bathrooms. The main bathroom has a classic clawfoot tub and is in terrific condition. Often a home from this vintage has one bathroom, or a main bathroom and a tiny tiny 2pc hidden somewhere. At Rathbourne, the other 2 (second and third) bathrooms are both less than 7 years old with a modern shower.
There are 2 staircases to the basement. The lower level is practically fully finished with 2 storage areas, laundry room and a spacious recroom. With a wet bar, electric fireplace, built-in shelving and newer carpeting, the recroom is a great family space.  
The property includes extensive landscaping, especially with the interlocking brick double driveway, gazebo and its full awning, gas barbecue hookup, and backyard tiered gardens. There is both a workshop and storage shed. The large shed has 2 swing-open doors. The yard is fully fenced for your Rover. The shop has hydro and would be ideal for a contractor or wood-working hobbyist.
This 2-storey home is in an ideal location for a family as it's near shopping, parks, the fairgrounds, and Winchester school.
